I kind of share the sentiment expressed in the final quote of the article. From the way the dataset is described this could be really helpful to criminals and really harmful and dangerous for other folks - police and civilian alike.

The police are civilians.

True. But when you hear cops talk about non cops, they will call non cops civilians.

This [1] gave me an idea of how some police might see their role.

That is definitely an interesting perspective. It seems somewhat idealized, but if we accept the premise of the author, then sheepdogs that hurt lambs are not removed in US making sheep go 'Baa'.

Still, a worthwhile read.
